I arrived about 9:30. It was clear, sunny and warm. The ground is very wet with standing puddles and the pond has filled up quite a bit since last week. The Cosumnes River area had full streams and flooded fields. The Sacramento River was very muddy.

I reinstalled the downward sensor head from the LED sensor and sealed all the cable holes with liquid electrical tape. The data looked okay.

The sonic was running when I got there, but I swapped out the PSU unit that has been hanging up for a RS422 to RS232 converter. That seemed to go well.

I replaced the desiccant in the BF5 sensor. There was a surprising amount of condensation inside the box. Probably need to swap the desiccant next time too.

The tower fence power was off when I got there, but otherwise okay. The floor fence had a broken wire that I fixed.

The plastic storage box had its lid blown off in the storm. Stuff inside was wet. I need to clean this box out.
